The Easysite desktop uploader can be installed by accessing the link present within the configuration of the Asset Manager Tools element or alternatively following the steps outlined in this article.
The Easysite Desktop Uploader development utilises Microsoft functionality know as ClickOnce. Installation will work correctly with all Internet Explorer browsers although we are aware that this technology is not currently supported by Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox without the installation of an additional plugin application.
Note: A number of plugins can be found across the internet in order to install this functionality within unsupported browsers although we would recommend using Internet Explorer as the simple solution.
1. Login to your chosen Easysite microsite. For example http://resources.easysitecms.net
2. Add the following path to the end of the chosen domain and press Return:
/EasySiteWeb/DesktopIntegration/DesktopUploader.application
For example, http://resources.easysitecms.net/EasySiteWeb/DesktopIntegration/DesktopUploader.application
If you don't see the dialog below when attempting to install the application, please download the application using Internet Explorer.
Note: that the Easysite Desktop Uploader can only be used against a single Easysite powered microsite at any one time.
3. Once an installation displays, access Install and the desktop uploader will quickly run through the installation process then prompt to
confirm that the Easysite Desktop Uploader is now ready for use
.
You should now have successfully installed the Easysite Desktop Uploader and should be ready to begin transferring files from Windows Explorer directly to the Easysite Asset Manager.
